I like it a lot as well. It appeared rather out of the blue for me just as I was finding myself wanting a lightweight, flexible diagramming tool. I have been using Scapple on and off for this but having a native Apple tool across both macOS and i(pad)os is great. I would also prefer a more flexible palette but for a V1 release I'm very pleased with it!

Apple needs to add to the Freeform App across Apple devices, the ability to snap shapes drawn with pencil of with hand.
@PaperlessX Жыл бұрын
That is such an important feature!
@RandallLeeReetz Жыл бұрын
Its sort of a whiteboard app with exactly NONE of the features people would expect of such an app. No hyperlinks, no node/edge org chart or network diagraming. No shape hinting (you know where you draw a "freeform" shape and the app cleans it up into a platonic rectangle, square, circle, oval, star, moon, arrow, sun, person, plant, car, etc). No object recognition. No semantic or search features. There are sticky notes but when you write on them, your writing doesn't stick to the note so when you move the note, the writing floats where it was. No math and equation solver or formatter, no tables, no charts, no dimensional drawings, no metadata, no alternative views (page, table, scrolling, list, portfolio, timeline, graph, semantic, word cloud, etc.). No creation or edit or browse history slider. No record for show functionality. No output to presentation. No audio (lecture) recording tied to note taking (so you can click on a part of your notes and have the audio play back from the moment in the lecture that was recorded when you drew that part of your notes). No background web searches and content suggestions. No cloud publishing and public sharing. No geographic parsing (location relationship mapping). No finder integration. No collections. No list or task or event or group or calendar awareness. No associative awareness (doesn't store proximity information).

Those would all be nice to have features, but I’m more disappointed about the fact that it doesn’t make me coffee, it doesn’t water my plants and it can’t even pick up my kids from school.

you do know there is a group feature. you can simply group the writing to the sticky notes. pretty sure you would be complaining if you wanted to move your writing independently of the sticky note afterwards for whatever reason. I Prefer to group it. That's full freedom. However I agree about the shape hinting. we should've been able to long hold for cleaner lines.

Awesome, THANKS for making a great, clear video about Freeform. Really, really appreciate it. This app seems like a good first step. Hop Apple hears your comments. One additional thing that you didn’t quite touch on was using the Apple Pencil to hand write words and then convert to text. But this is kind of obvious so probably doesn’t need a separate call out. Thanks again!

No PDF markup? No auto convert to shapes? No links between objects? No writing on sticky notes? No background sound recording (linked to edit history)? No semantic (meaning) scaling or zoom? No easy shared palette of most frequently used tools and actions? No scaled links for embedded notes? No linking and live inclusion between canvases? No linking to external canvases (created by other people and stored on the cloud)? No hyperlinked jumps between different locations (and magnifications) on the same canvas? No history slider? No branching history. No time or calendar or location or map associations or navigation? No sequence or procedure tools or actions? No task management? No semantic (meaning mining) tools? No search and find and mapping tools for shared concepts? No saved searches (smart folders)? No search triggers? App doesn't watch what you do and auto-find most often and most salient concepts? No word maps. App doesn't do auto web searches while you aren't using it, based on your activity and work within it? You can't even do org charts? Network diagrams? Floor layouts? Scaled drawings? Charts? Graphs? Tables?Doesn't allow you to build forms? Sometimes I really wonder what the F is going on at apple... is anyone in charge? Headless monster? No actual goals or predictions? I see a giant company that keeps reinventing the same exact tools and services (same ones Xerox invented between the late 60's and mid 70's. Sad really. Contains nothing new at all. Doesn't really integrate with other apps. Its like a dumbed down MacDraw (without any of the parts of macDraw that were actually useful).

yes, everything takes just too much time. thats the correct tag line. to me this is what Keynote is doing already. This was a big chance for Apple. and they missed. big time. almost unusable.
